Galen Institute . . . "Punishing states for using Medicaid managed care is yet another ObamaCare attack on private health plans.
"According to the Milliman report, Florida could face added costs of up to $1.4 billion over the next ten years to fund ObamaCare, Pennsylvania, $1.3 billion, and Texas, $1.1 billion. Tennessee, where Medicaid recipients are fully enrolled in managed care, could face added costs of $731 million over that time. Maryland will need to come up with $680 million, and Louisiana with $787 million. States that don’t contract with Medicaid managed care plans will not have to pay.
"The tax is due regardless of whether or not a state decides to expand Medicaid. The worst decision would be to scrap their Medicaid managed care plans to avoid this new ObamaCare tax. This is one more example why the best solution is to eradicate all of the ObamaCare taxes — along with the rest of the law."
